Well, if it is a 2.3 full pressure turbo, you will certainly find it
entertaining in 3rd and above when the boost kicks in.
If it is anything like the Classic 900 it will feel smooth but a little
sluggish below 2750/3k rpm, but once above that, and the whole car is
transformed, and if you can keep it above that magic line, it will be
absolutley mental, and you will get a great deal of pleasure from it.
With it being a FWD, it will be a totally different performance
experience. But with heated seats, possibly leather, a decent feeling
steering wheel, and loads of torque, that will pull you through that
little flat area below 3k, you will find it a dream.
